It's up to you to stick with it to find out if it helps or not. The anxiety will probably abate with time, but there is no guarantee. It was too much for me to handle and I had to stop it at day 10 (I never went up to 20mg, I was on 4mg/day of clonazepam and still could not handle the anxiety of 10mg). I would talk to your doctor about this. To give it a fair shot, you need to be on it 4-6 weeks. I just couldn't handle it.
Plus, I've always had better results with MAOIs; do note that I am using these drugs primarily for social phobia. What I do best on is MAOI + psychostimulant (60mg/day d-amphetamine).
I'm done with SSRI-type drugs. I've taken them for years in the past and never got much benefit.
